a lot depends on the stream in question.  if you're grabbing a standard
mp3 stream, even a simple wget command may work for you.  if you're
grabbing something using one of the many non-http streaming protocols,
my first bet would be to try xmms.  xmms has a "wav output" audio driver
iirc, so you could just open the url after setting the right audio
output settings.

if it's a really exotic stream (maybe mms?) you could try mplayer, which
has a -streamdump or -dumpfile or something like that (i'm sure r'ing
tfm will find it) which will do exactly what you might think.
